The Lord’s Eternal Love

A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed and pours out his complaint before the Lord.

1 Hear my prayer, O Lord,
And let my cry come to You.
2 aDo not hide Your face from me in the day of my trouble;
Incline Your ear to me;
In the day that I call, answer me speedily. 
3 For my days1 are aconsumed like smoke,
And my bones are burned like a hearth. 
4 My heart is stricken and withered like grass,
So that I forget to eat my bread.
5 Because of the sound of my groaning
My bones cling to my1 skin. 
6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness;
I am like an owl of the desert.
7 I lie awake,
And am like a sparrow alone on the housetop.
8 My enemies reproach me all day long;
Those who deride me swear an oath against me.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread,
And mingled my drink with weeping,
10 Because of Your indignation and Your wrath;
For You have lifted me up and cast me away.
11 My days are like a shadow that lengthens,
And I wither away like grass.
12 But You, O Lord, shall endure forever,
And the remembrance of Your name to all generations.
13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion;
For the time to favor her,
Yes, the set time, has come.
14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones,
And show favor to her dust.
15 So the1 nations shall afear the name of the Lord,
And all the kings of the earth Your glory. 
16 For the Lord shall build up Zion;
aHe shall appear in His glory. 
17 aHe shall regard the prayer of the destitute,
And shall not despise their prayer. 
18 This will be awritten for the generation to come,
That ba people yet to be created may praise the Lord. 
19 For He alooked down from the height of His sanctuary;
From heaven the Lord viewed the earth, 
20 aTo hear the groaning of the prisoner,
To release those appointed to death, 
21 To adeclare the name of the Lord in Zion,
And His praise in Jerusalem, 
22 aWhen the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord. 
23 He weakened my strength in the way;
He ashortened my days. 
24 aI said, “O my God,
Do not take me away in the midst of my days;
bYour years are throughout all generations.
